tlelnen to keep your hands of Cabinet
resolutions.
Noble Smith moved the item pass at

cinchona, $1,000.

the reason for asking for this appropriation.
Mr.. Forsyth, who had been engaged in the
business elsewhere, had made tour of Ha-
wall and Maui as to the prospects of grow
ing cinchona, and was now writing report.
1t was worth while for this Government to
attempt to introduce something else besides

object.

tain individual, w. H. Purvis, who was

Rep. Kamuoha moved the item be strick-
en- out.
Rep. Paehaole thought the matter should
come before the House in the form of a bill.
Rep. Kalaukoa said there were more
pressing matters for them to look after than
cinchOna. Again, last session an item was
passed for the cultivation of ramie. He
had noticed in the papers lately that the
man who had the ramie matter in charge
had gone bankrupt. Now, they did not
want to bankrupt the cinchona man. Roads
and bridges ought to be looked after, and
therefore he was in favor of striking the
